We call attention to the card o
Messrs. jennings 4 Gordon, who
have succeeded Mr.. Buck Wright in
charge of the Lake Cotton Shed
This shed and wagon yard combined
is one of the most complete institu-
tons in Grenada; the walls are brick
and the roof is iron, therefore, it is
strictly fire-proof. Any of our far
mer friends coming into Grenada
with load of cotton, corn, hay or
any other produce may drive his
load into this. shed and go Off and
leave it with the assurance that it
will be Just as safe there as it would
be in his own lot ut home. The same
careful attention will be given horses,
mules or other stock, and they may
be fed or merely stalled as the owner
directs. Their facilities for storing
cotton cannot be surpassed, and their
charges--all the way througll-'are
regulated to meet the short crop and
hard times. The proprietors, Messrs.
Frank Jennings and Buck Gordon,
are altogether too well known as
honorable, upright gentlemen to
need any words of comnlendatiOn
from us.

County Farmers Alliance.

lst, We request our next Repre-
sentative to the Legislature to sup
port F. l., Martin, Of the New Mis-
sissippian, for Clerk of the House.
end, The sentiment of al advanced
civilization demands that the honest
debtor class Of farmers who are strug-
Cling to pay their debts and support
their families, should be protected
from the extortonate prices they are
now compelled to pay for credit. All
deeds in trust, mortgages and liens
of any character given for supplies
should become nuli and void, where
on the price charged for said supplies
shall exceed 25 per cent. over and
above fair cash value of said sup
plies on the date which the sales
were made, and our Representatives
in the next Legislature are requested
to use their best endeavors to lhave a
law passed in consunance with this
resolution.
3rd, That copy of these resolu-
tions be sent TO Hon. j. n. Mcleod

No More scalage on Cotton in Grenada.

We are pleased TO announce that
the merchants of ofGrenada have agreed
TO abolish the custom of deductng
two pounds from each bale Of cotton.
AS Col. Pass very justly remarked %
this scribe this two pounds from each
bale is big little thing. Said the
Colonel: ~ handle, usually, about
300 bales yearly; two pounds per
bale on $500 bales is 5000 pounds,
equal to ten bales weighing 500 lbs.
each, at eight cents per pound, this
would make 500 90. Yes, Boss, it's
a big little thing"

After making one Of the hardest

witnessed, and eyhausting all the
devices that human ingenuity could
discover. Jones Hamilton will con-
tinue to chew the cud of reflection
behind the bars Of the Kinds county
jail until next February at least, so
Judge Cooper, ofthe Supreme Court,
decides. As to the ball In Hamil-
ton $ arm, he says thau inasmuch as
all physicians but one have testified
that extracting ii is very simple
operation under favorable circum-
stances, but that the Kinds county
Jail was in very bad sanitary con-
dition, therefore he was willing to
order Hamilton removed to the Iazoo
Jail or some other Jail where the
sanitary conditions were good, there
to remain until the operation was
performed and the patient recovered.
To this Hamillon's attorneys object
ed, stating that their application
was for bail. As might have been
